Effects of salinity and transparent exopolymer particles on formation of aquatic aggregates and their association with norovirus by Hanley, Kaitlyn T., Wuertz, Stefan, Schriewer, Alexander, Passow, Uta, Smith, Woutrina, Olin, Paul, Shapiro, Karen

“…Despite the detrimental health impacts of human NoV-contaminated seafood to public health, there is a lack of knowledge on the physicochemical conditions that govern NoV transmission in aquatic ecosystems. In the present study, we investigated the propensity for NoVs to associate with aquatic aggregates, which have been shown to efficiently deliver nano-sized particles to shellfish. …”

Pb isotopic fingerprinting of uranium pollution: new insight on uranium transport in stream-river sediments by Wang, Jin, Hu, Haiyao, Lin, Ke, Wei, Xudong, Beiyuan, Jingzi, Xiong, Xinni, Wan, Yuebing, Deng, Pengyuan, Wu, Hanyu, Kang, Mingliang, Liu, Juan, Dong, Xuhui

“…Uranium mill tailings (UMT) present a significant environmental concern due to high levels of radioactive and toxic elements, including uranium (U), thorium (Th), and lead (Pb), which can pose serious health risks to aquatic ecosystems. While Pb isotopic tracers have been widely utilized in environmental studies to identify elemental sources and geological processes, their application in U geochemistry remains relatively limited. …”
